Fulton Fire Chief Adam Howard honored and recognized the Fulton fire department as well as three citizens during a Fulton Common Council meeting Tuesday for their “pivotal role” rescuing a grandmother and her two grandchildren from a house fire in which they were trapped.
Howard described the Oct. 30 house fire at 704 Highland St. as a “pretty significant fire” that left Adelaide Hotaling and her two grandchildren, ages 11 and 2, trapped in the building.
Howard said the Fulton Fire Department “B” crew arrived at the scene within three minutes after dispatch. By the time “B” crew arrived, Ted Starr, of 706 Highland St., Shawn Perry, of 703 Highland St., and passerby Ian Woodworth, helped Hotaling and her grandchildren escape from a window and get to safety.
